Almost a year ago now, I posted a couple of photos which were the product of a photoshoot with a bee. Another one of those photos is currently the header for my blog.
Back then, I was assured by an anonymous commenter that this was a female bee, contrary to what I had thought (tangent: I was so fascinated by who it was with such extensive knowledge of bees who'd found my blog that I then disabled the anonymous commenter function). Now yesterday, when a winged creature of epic proportions made an appearance in exactly the same spot, I still don't know if it's a bee or a wasp. But I was still fascinated by it, and quickly whipped the camera out.
It also reminded me of when, a few years ago, I was shocked to spy the biggest dragonfly I had ever seen in a country as un-tropical as England, resting at my kitchen window.
And today, in continuance of my bright style mood, I decided to wear my dragonfly brooch, which I continue to love despite it having a broken wing.
love the broach! but did you hear (on the bbc) that bees are starting to die out and no one know why... apparently it'll massively affect crops too x
ReplyDeleteno I hadn't! wow, that's scary.
ReplyDeleteI have never been stung and I never hope to be so. Like you, I freak out whenever I see one and so far it is working for me.;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind bees but what I can't stand is when I'm lying there in the grass, having a snooze and I hear that BZZZZZZZ really loudly right next to my ear. I can't bear it, I always think it's going to fly in and buzz around the inside of head! Could that happen?!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and 'the other lady' was PAT McGRATH!! Google her ;)
Damn Rollergirl I need to do my research...
ReplyDeleteBelette - I think I have, I just can't remember it at all though. I know I had an allergic reaction, and it wasn't that long ago... but the pain wasn't intense enough to remember it.
Gorgeous brooch!!!
